13 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the activity detection module obtains the sensor data from the one or more sensors including a camera and a microphone.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data corresponds to one or more environmental conditions in the passenger compartment of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft.

5

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the activity detection module obtains the sensor data from one or more sensors associated with one or more user devices located in the passenger compartment of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft.

7

7. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the one or more passenger issues occurring in the autonomous unpiloted aircraft is based at least in part on one or more passenger profiles including medical information, and wherein identifying the one or more passenger issues includes comparing the condition of the passenger compartment to one or more medical criteria included in the medical information.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the one or more response options to address the one or more passenger issues is based on the operational parameter of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft received by the activity detection module from an avionics interface.

9

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more passenger issues occurring in the autonomous unpiloted aircraft include a medical emergency, and the modification made to the operation of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft includes modifying a flight plan for the autonomous unpiloted aircraft.

10

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification made to the operation of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft further includes opening a communication channel between the passenger compartment of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft and a healthcare provider.

12

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the activity detection module obtains the sensor data from the one or more sensors including a camera and a microphone.

14

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the sensor data corresponds to one or more environmental conditions in the passenger compartment of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft.

15

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the activity detection module obtains the sensor data from one or more sensors associated with one or more user devices located in the passenger compartment of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft.

17

17. The system of claim 11, wherein determining the one or more response options to address the one or more passenger issues is based on the operational parameter of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft received by the activity detection module from an avionics interface.

18

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the one or more passenger issues occurring in the autonomous unpiloted aircraft include a medical emergency, and the modification made to the operation of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft includes modifying a flight plan for the autonomous unpiloted aircraft.

19

19. The system of claim 11, wherein the modification made to the operation of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft further includes opening a communication channel between the passenger compartment of the autonomous unpiloted aircraft and a healthcare provider.
